The first thing to do when deciding on universities major is to think where you want to see yourself in 5 or 10 years. If you want to be the CEO of an internet company, for example, then opting for universities major in drama and media sciences is probably not the best choice.This might be very obvious but most of the time students know which career they want to choose but they don’t know which universities major to choose so that they could be on the right path. Therefore, you should consult professionals in that career to guide you to choose the right universities major.
